BACKGROUND: Epidermal cysts are benign subcutaneous masses resulting from the implantation of epithelial cells, following trauma or surgery. Giant spontaneous epidermal cysts of the labia minora are rare. To date, only 3 cases of epidermal …
BackgroundThe human body's intestinal microbiota is a vital "organ" that coexists with it and is intimately linked to both human health and illness. Human intestinal microbiota and its metabolites are a crucial component in the development …
Thin endometrium (TE, ≤7 mm) is widely recognized as a critical cause of infertility, recurrent pregnancy losses, and placental abnormalities. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) plays a crucial role in tissue repair, …
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a prevalent gynecological condition among women of reproductive age and is commonly associated with heavy menstrual bleeding, severe dysmenorrhea, and infertility. These symptoms impose a substantial burden on bot…
Recent advances in understanding the modulatory functions of gut and gut microbiota on human diseases facilitated our focused attention on the contribution of the gut to the pathophysiological alterations of many extraintestinal organs, inc…
STUDY QUESTION: Can harmine mitigate endometriosis by modulating oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) suppression and macrophage polarization? SUMMARY ANSWER: Harmine induces apoptosis in endometriotic lesions by inhibiting OXPHOS while also…
PurposeIn China, the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection among infertile couples is a significant clinical problem. It is necessary to determine the effect of HBV infection on embryo development.MethodsThe 4301 fresh cycles and …
Hysteroscopic myomectomy is the first-line treatment for the removal of submucosal myoma in women facing fertility requirements. However, in the face of large diameter type 2 submucosal myoma, patients are at greater risk of complications s…
AIM: Endometriosis is characterized by immune evasion and progressive inflammation. This study aimed to identify key genes related to immune and inflammation in endometriosis. METHODS: Differentially expressed genes between patients with a…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common benign gynecologic disease in women of reproductive age, and its manifestations remarkably decrease quality of life. Lactate, as a metabolite, exerts prominent effects across a wide range of biological …
An increasing number of research have suggested that ferroptosis plays an important role in endometriosis (EMS). This study was to identify a ferroptosis-related diagnosis gene in EMS by using bioinformatics. R Bioconductor package limma wa…
BackgroundThe incidence of ulcerative colitis (UC) is rapidly increasing worldwide, but existing therapeutics are limited. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which have been associated with the development of various autoimmune diseases…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the timing of adenomyomectomy within the menstrual cycle influences outcomes in patients with adenomyosis, and to assess whether surgery performed during the secretory phase offers clinical advantages over the…
This study aims to identify angiogenesis-associated genes (AAGs) in endometriosis (EM) by integrating bioinformatics analysis with machine learning, and to investigate their underlying mechanisms. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were …
Abstract Background The pathogenesis of adenomyosis remains incompletely understood, and no well-established biomarkers related to its inflammatory mediators have been identified. Aim This retrospective study aimed to investigate the assoc…
BackgroundPatients with benign gallbladder diseases (BGBD) in China are characterized by prolonged illness duration, recurrent acute inflammation and poor medical compliance, all increase difficulty of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Com…
BackgroundUterine prolapse (UP), a subtype of pelvic organ prolapse (POP), frequently coexists with urinary tract infections (UTIs) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), including urinary frequency (UF), urinary incontinence (UI), and ur…
BackgroundDiabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are one of the most common and severe complications of diabetes, closely associated with high amputation rates and mortality, and the clinical treatment research is still limited. Previous studies have d…
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) involve in oocyte postovulatory aging, yet the mechanism of ROS accumulation is not fully understood. We explored iron metabolic status and its relationship with ROS in mouse oocytes during postovulatory aging …
BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis (AP) can be mild and self-limited, but it can also become severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and lead to multi-organ dysfunction. It is still difficult to identify patients who may develop severe disease at an ea…
BackgroundFor patients with nodules detected in imaging that are indeterminate for malignancy, achieving accurate, early, and non-invasive diagnosis of Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LUSC) remains a significant challenge. Therefore, we aimed…
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor. Recent evidence suggests that the novel long noncoding RNA DHRS4 antisense RNA 1 (DHRS4-AS1) serves an important role in cancer progression and metastasis. However, its func…
BackgroundAMH is a dependable indicator of ovarian reserve function and assessment of ovarian responsiveness. The relationship between reduced ovarian reserve and pregnancy loss remains poorly understood and requires further investigation. …
The glucose metabolism homeostasis in the follicular fluid microenvironment plays an important role in follicular maturation and ovulation, and excessively high or low glucose concentrations have adverse effects on the differentiation of fo…
